Just saw on a recent note about compiling problems on OS X that the
person needed to use the '--disable-shared' flag. I tried it and that
solved my problems. Not sure what library isn't being loaded when
compiling dynamic, but compiling static fixes it at least for this
version (I'll have to try dynamic libs again in future versions).

If anybody would like to continue debugging shared libraries and the
svn_ra_dav_init symbol, just let me know what you would like me to try.
